The Gelian Hotel located next to the Machakos County Assembly is so far the tallest building in the town.
The hotel, which is the official sponsor of the Masaku Sevens this year, has a capacity of 100 rooms.
It also has a gym, swimming pool and a club, which can host 250 people at a go.

Jubilee games. They flopped in Homa Bay so they take them to Ukambani.

which games? this is a businessman/men having confidence in a formerly dusty town.... hotel, 100 rooms, club... equals around 50 direct jobs created and many more indirect ones for those supplying eggs, bread, beer....

I have to confess I did not read the article. By coincidence I had been reading the Standard which had a screaming headline with the same "confidence" thing and I made the blunder of assuming it was the same. I am just allergic to politicians meeting and creating imaginary posts for whoever is bankrolling them :
Machakos, Kenya: A section of legislators drawn from the three counties of Ukambani have now endorsed Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua as the region's political leader ahead of the 2017 general election.
The MPs, who converged at Kinyui grounds in Matungulu constituency on Dr Mutua's invitation to launch a multi-billion water project at the weekend, said time has come for the youthful governor to liberate the community from political wilderness.
They included Eng Vincent Musyoka (Mwala), Victor Munyaka (Machakos Town), Itwiku Mbai (Masinga), John Munuve (Mwingi North), Richard Makenga (Kaiti), Regina Ndambuki (Kilome) and Rachael Nyamai (Kitui South). Other leaders present were, former MPs Kalembe Ndile (Kibwezi) and Moffat Maitha (Kangundo). Addressing the gathering, Dr Munyaka and Makenga revealed a political movement aimed at propelling Dr Mutua as the community's political leader, and urged former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka to retire from politics.
